Yay! I missed the Lissie flounce and you're back already! Appt isnt too far away, have really REALLY high hopes for this time. I cannot believe the treatment you've had so far and you deserve to have someone take you seriously.
Can't believe they're making you wait two weeks to find out about work Faith, that sucks. The whole situation sounds stressful and a very unfair. Is this the NHS? Is yes, it doesn't surprise me. My mum has worked for NHS for years and they're pulling stunts like this in her department. Her boss was told, indirectly, through an email (I.e she had to read between the lines as was a round Robin type email) that her job was obsolete and she would have to reapply. Is a mess!! Grr at person at work today. Good response though. I guess people who haven't gone through ishoos don't really think before they open their mouth.
Queen it sounds like you need some time out for yourself. You sound really down, good to wallow sometimes but hope the feeling of despondency goes soon. deffo go down the PALS route, something sounds decidedly fishy there. Agree that waiting until after is a good plan though (but equally hate that you're having to play the system - it shouldn't have to be like that).
Hi to Duck, is definitely a great place to hide out here! I have a friend who fosters. She finds it incredibly tough but very rewarding. She's an emergency fosterer so gets calls in the middle of the night to take on children in a bad situation. The hoops she had to jump through to be approved took a long time. Has it been a long process for you too?
I've had a ridiculous week at work, not finishing much before 8/9pm (I start at 8am) so am mega tired. My dad is in the country at the mo (he lives in Oz) and staying with us at the weekends which is proving stressful too. Added to this I have just started spotting on cd24 (my cycles are usually 35+days). This happened last month as well. I think my body has finally given up on me. Any ideas on why the early spotting is happening?
I also rang the hospital last Friday to try and get an update, was told someone would ring me back early this week. Needless to say no one has bothered. It's just so incredibly frustrasting.
Had another friend announce on fb her pregnancy - twins. Feel awful as I know she's suffered a few miscarriages and yet STILL I'm jealous. How horrible am I?!
Best go Hoover/wash up etc in prep for dad arriving again tomorrow....
